Astronomers are now watching a mysterious object which appeared this month in a star system com paratively near own. x Y The object was just 6,000,000 light years away, or 36,000,000,000,000, 000,000 miles distant. Practically a neighbor! AID TO HELPLESS VICTIMS The American Red Cross is ap " pealing to the people of the United States to contribute $10,000,000 to a war relief fund. Officials of the or ganization say that it is impossible to exaggerate the rescue problem, pointing out that "probably 5,000,000 French and Belgians already are on the march, homeless, without food, many wounded and ick." The sympathy of the people of the United States is undoubtedly over whelmingly on the side of the Allied nations. Once more, in the midst of warfare, the civilian population of these nations is suffering unimagin able hardships. If our sympathy means anything, we should respond to this appeal of the Red Cross and make available the $10,000,000 re quested and, if necessary, other mil lions later on to assist in the care of the refugees, many of whom are helpless children.

MANN ? a ?*- - Approximatley 5,000 farmers and farm women are tytpecieu w gather in Raleigh on Wednesday, June 5, for the annual meeting of members of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association and patrons of the Farmers Cooperative Exchange. Congressman Graham A. Barden of the third North Carolina district will be the prin cipal speaker and M. G. Mann, general manager of the two cooperatives, will report on the past year's operations of the Cotton Association and the FCX. JUNE DESIGNATED AS DAIRY MONTH IN STATE Governor Hoey said: "North Carolina's greatest farm industry is closely allied with the dairy cow and her products, the an nual income from which in this State approaches $32,000,000. This will indicate the importance of this in dustry and also the possibilities in its further development. "Scientists have long recognized the high nutritional value of milk and its products; butter, cheese and ice cream; and from youth to old age they occupy primary position in the diet as nourishing, refreshing and appetizing drinks and dishes. A na tion's human health is greatly en hanced by the products of the dairy cow, the foster mother of mankind. "Today milk and other products are relatively cheap; and June being the season of abundance on the mar ket, prices always tend downward. Therefore, during the month of June milk will be among the most eco nomical food purchases for any fam ily. "With the idea of stimulating the use of dairy products during this period, it has been determined that June shall be designated as the DAIRY MONTH in North Carolina, during which time special attention should be given to dairy products and all of the people further urged to en joy some of these delicious and wholesome products during these first summer months. And I ad monish the people of North Caro lina to drink more milk, use more butter, cheese _ and ice cream, and therefore increase the health and at the same time add to the stability of this industry in a period of peak production; and I trust that the month of June will find all of our people participating in this observ ance." ^ WHO KNOWS?
